Metastases to the craniovertebral junction.
Neurosurgery, 2010This study reviews the relevant literature regarding the management of craniovertebral junction (CVJ) metastases. These rare tumors present significant diagnostic and treatment challenges.A PubMed search of cervical spine, cervical spine metastasis, craniovertebral junction, atlantoaxial spine, and metastasis radiation was conducted to define the ...

Fusions at the craniovertebral junction
Child's Nervous System, 2008The surgical management of craniovertebral junction instability in pediatric patients has unique challenges. While the indications for internal fixation in children are similar to those of adults, the data concerning techniques, complications, and outcomes of spinal instrumentation comes from experience with adult patients.

LESIONS OF THE CRANIOVERTEBRAL JUNCTION
Neuroimaging Clinics of North America, 1994There has been a renewed interest in the normal and pathologic lesions of the CVJ with the growth of MR imaging. A host of pathologies, both congenital and acquired, may manifest at the CVJ. Basilar invagination and basilar impression and their impact on the CMJ are readily diagnosed using a variety of noninvasive imaging modalities.

Infantile myofibromatosis of the craniovertebral junction
British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2008Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is a rare pathological entity characterized by solitary or multiple nodular skin, soft tissues or bony lesions. Craniovertebral (CV) junction lesions are rare. We report the successful management of a solitary IM involving the posterior elements of the CV junction in a 6-month-old child.

Neurosurgery, 2010
The craniovertebral junction is a complex region that incorporates the occiput-C1-C2 portions of the spine. It is a transition between the cranium and the mobile cervical spine that permits significant motion. The motions afforded and the anatomy are vastly different at the occiput-C1 and C1-C2 articulations.

Osteosarcoma of craniovertebral junction
The Lancet Oncology, 2005Osteosarcoma is a neoplasm that usually arises in the metaphyseal areas of long bone, and occurrences in the primary vertebra and skull are very rare. A 39-year-old man presented with a 6-month history of neck pain and progressive palsy of the lower cranial nerves on the right side.

Management of craniovertebral junction tuberculosis
World Neurosurgery, 2005Tuberculosis of the craniovertebral junction (CVJ) is extremely rare. However, recent evidence suggests that the incidence of this condition may be increasing. The diagnosis is often difficult despite advances in imaging using magnetic resonance imaging.

Endoscopic Approaches to the Craniovertebral Junction
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 2016The endoscopic endonasal approach provides a direct surgical trajectory to anteriorly located lesions at the craniovertebral junction. The inferior limit of surgical exposure is predicted by the nasopalatine line, and the lateral limit is demarcated by the lower cranial nerves. Endoscopic endonasal odontoidectomy allows preservation of the soft palate,

Complete surgical excision of intramedullary schwannoma at the craniovertebral junction in neurofibromatosis type-2 [PDF]
British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2004 Intramedullary spinal schwannomas are extremely rare. We describe a case of a 13-year-old female who was found to have an intramedullary schwannoma at craniovertebral junction along with incidental bilateral acoustic neuromas, which was excised ...

Management of tuberculomas of the craniovertebral junction
British Journal of Neurosurgery, 2000Tuberculosis of the craniovertebral junction is extremely rare. However, recent evidence suggests that the incidence of this condition may be increasing in the United Kingdom. The diagnosis is often difficult despite advances in imaging using MRI. CT guided biopsy of lesions often yields inconclusive results.
